The Verge:

> Starting this fall in the US, Walmart customers in select cities can choose to have their groceries delivered directly into their refrigerators when away from home. The InHome service will use Walmart vehicles and its own workers equipped with proprietary wearable cameras. Using undisclosed “smart entry technology,” Walmart employees will be able to enter homes to make deliveries, while customers will be able to control access and watch the deliveries remotely.

This raises so many questions for me. Would you allow someone you don’t know to enter your home to put groceries in your refrigerator? This is one step beyond Amazon’s front door access that let’s them stick a package just inside your house.

On the practical side, having a well-functioning refrigerator is crucial for maintaining the integrity of those delivered groceries. It’s essential for homeowners to ensure that their appliances are not only energy-efficient but also reliable, which often involves professional help for installation and maintenance.

This is where experts like plumbers perth come into play. As our homes become more integrated with smart technology, the plumbing needs to support modern appliances effectively. A refrigerator that connects to your home system requires not just proper installation but ongoing maintenance to avoid leaks or malfunctions that could spoil food or disrupt delivery services.

By investing in reliable plumbing solutions, homeowners can enjoy the benefits of innovations like Walmart’s InHome service, ensuring that their appliances function smoothly while maintaining peace of mind about their home’s security.

And what about the footage of the interior of your home that is captured and put on the internet? How is this footage secured? Who can see it? It is available for you to see on the net, so the potential is there for other lurkers to see it as well.

Wondering if my kids will someday see this all as normal.
